While there is a scientific consensus that information is always accompanied by matter and energy, it is also true that matter and energy must always exist in some form, thereby carrying information. </font><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Formlessness is informative only outside of serious science, as a religious concept among spiritual practitioners.</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I challenge you to design a scientific experiment, where matter and energy demonstrably occur without form, information. Yours is a good example of the fallacy of the conflation of the epistemic and ontic domains of reality - an apparently universal mental condition infecting academics.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Cheers,</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Paul</span></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"></span></font><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jun 27, 2025, at 12:51 AM, Krassimir Markov <itheaiss@gmail.com> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;">information cannot exist outside of matter and energy, while the opposite is not true - matter and energy do not depend on information.</span></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
